[“30 Minutes” music]
Shapovalov: What do we want? What do we want for the American press? What kind of reaction are we looking for? What do we want? What do we want for Tatu’s PR? What’s the aim of PR?
Guy: Shock!
Shapovalov: Shock? They... in that case they should shock on that NBC show. Do you agree?
Guy: Absolutely! On MTV! And then on TRL show!
Shapovalov: And...What do you think about the relationship between love and war?
Guy: Yes, I think… you know Sheryl Crow always wears T-shirts that have some sort of message... against war…
Shapovalov: We can make a message too!
Guy: Yes.
Shapovalov: What message?
Guy: I think it should be in Russian. It’ll draw more attention from the audience. It’ll interest them to figure out what it says
Shapovalov: *thinking* Ahhhh! *thinking* Maybe we can write: “Fuck war”? ("D*ck to war" literally). Ha ha ha… And we will say that it means "No War!"
Beata: What... what did you say?
Shapovalov: We will write “Fuck war”
Beata: Yea, lets write "Fuck War"!... *Laughing*
Shapovalov: Fuck war...
[Silly Laughing]
Beata: Let's write "Love and... work"
Shapovalov (while writing): Of course, let's do it ...we create!
Beata: We gave rise to an idea, and we’ll write it down.
Guy: OK. Looks good. That means "No war"? ....(Translator: Oh so that's how you write "No War" in Russian! )
(all getting up and leaving)
Guy: I'll... see you both tomorrow.
Ivan: See you
Beata: See you tomorrow
[“Show me love” music]
Pasha: You’re going to die here during the summer! (i think he is referring to how hot it is )
Julia: I understand that. I’m not saying I am going to live here, Pasha. We came here for a week to relax and then go back to Moscow.
Pasha: Are these your bags?
Julia: Yes.
Dave (the translator): New York Times said this was some kind of paedophile’s business… child pornography… but Vanya usually gives the answer… he says “no, that there is no pornography involved, the girls are young, and youth is something wonderful, we are just developing their talent, and that we want the whole world to know this”… you should just read it, it’s written well …
Julia: This is so cool. Did you see it? Oops! look it spins around...
Pasha: First line.. go! What did they say?
[Talk about Iraq on TV]
Julia: Hi, we want to.. breakfast. Ok, have you cornflakes with milk and one omlett with bacon? Thank you..
[phone rings]
Ivan: So… yes...Seriog (name)… second line there…
Julia: I told mommy because... like, I couldn’t hide it... because I realized that I had to go to the hospital for a day... I had to stay there after the whole procedure... it was very hard, of course… The doctors said that everything is different for different people, some start in two weeks into the time… I started eating like a wolf, I stated eating everything, nuts and everything, all together, I wanted to eat... I had a dizziness and I thought to myself: “Something is strange here” ... I got some stripes. Then I thought that I need to run to the doctor’s as soon as possible. It’s was horrible...I understand that I have a career, my work, if God gave me this chance to be famous and sing, why not?... Imagine that there would be a little child there, very small... Of course I cried a lot at that time...
[Phone rings]
Lena: At the confession... I told him/gave away everything.… [toilet flush]… and now he....is like my priest... and when I go there I always get to talk to him... he recommended a book.... One of them I bought but have not read it yet... the other one he gave me and said: “Bring it back later... i hope a month is enough to read it”. I said "Of course it's enough"... I read it and liked it so much... and while I was reading I understood so much...
[in a car - Lena on a cell phone]
Lena: Listen, imagine, we worked in t-shirts that say "Fuck War" for the show and today they broadcast it... They said "group Tatu.. Russian duo in order to protest against the war in Iraq appeared wearing t-shirts with curse words". We went on the biggest show in USA in T-shirts that said “Fuck War.....it was cool.. Yes, yes, they shouldn't f*cking do it!. Here it is f*cking 20 degrees - 30 degrees in the sun! ....Listen (to Yulia) I say it is 30 degrees here and he is telling me: 'and I will make it 50 degrees here for you'. ... but I understood ... I wouldn’t be against it.... Yulia is saying (Lena is repeating what Yulia just said for the person on the phone): ' Who would doubt your passionate love! (love for Lena) " .... I do too/you too.. very very much.... it is true, I am happy ... I’ll be overjoyed every time until I sh*t my pants and jump to the ceiling... and we are passing such nice homes, very cool .... (ATTSS starts playing on the radio) .. OHHH, our song is on the radio .. Oppaaaaaaaa.... our song is on the radio
[ATTSS song]
Shapovalov: After the action “Fuck War” will we get a “National Artist”? In Russia? I mean the World! Will they give us a Nobel… Nobel peace prize? They should give Tatu a Nobel prize for the action!
Julia: What are you saying?
Shapovalov: Let’s stir this up, ah? lets stir it up. Two girls will be Nobel prize winners… it'll be a f*cking great story!
Shapovalov: (In the car) It’s not the action “Fuck War” itself that deserves the prize, it’s the project which broke all the limits... understand?... It broke the limits and we don't know why... Russia...it has certaily changed Russia’s image towards a more peaceful direction, the direction of love… the whole meaning of it - not the "Fuck War" action.
[Screaming fans] (awww, those kids.. in their desire to say things in russian, one says: 'We love Ourselves'.. while trying to say 'We love You' )
[Ivan + Beata smoking up]
[he is mumbling couple of words at the end.. am not sure what]
[in the limo]
Ivan: can you make it more? ...up.. up upppp... yes yes yes.. more .. more moreeeeeeeeee...
Julia: NO!
[Ivan dancing ]
Julia: Vanya, sit down.
[Ivan putting the t-shirts on the wall]
Ivan: well, it is fine...
[somewhere in the streets of London]
Guy in red jacked: (broken Russian) But, who are you? you came to England.. to London... being our guest... you are our
guest...a guest in our town...
Ivan: yes...
Guy: 'who are you… who’re you'... Who are you, tell me please!
Ivan: but why... why...
Guy: What do you mean ‘why’?!
Ivan: why... cant you see who I am?.
Guy: Well, I see that you are a person, but I want to know who I am talking to.
[yelling with the car driver]
Guy: I am giving you my soul...I... I... I am yours... I am.. Maro [Secondname] .. yes? Tell me who you are.. I don’t know the names.. ta-ta-ta-ta-da .. Who are you? Tell me...what do you do?
[Ivan eating at the window]
Ivan: I came to Moscow to work for an advertising company... [/color]This company planned some things in Moscow[/color], but things didn’t work out for them... and I was basically left alone...and that was hard....
Julia: The most scary thing in life for me is to loneliness.. I am not even afraid of dying.. but I am afraid to be left alone... because I think...[showing Lena smoking].. I wouldn't be able to live/survive if I ended up alone..
Lena: I am such an egoist...
Ivan: I didn’t have any experience as a producer.. At one time I used to be a taxi driver on my "Devyatka" then I led a preelection campaign for one deputat (senator) and we had a victory. Well in general.. I was doing something for others. I see people... doing some sort of projects for themselves... and I out of the air.. made this images for them and their projects I didn't want to make it for others so t.A.T.u. ends up like my brand.. what I did on my own In 1998 there was a crisis in the country, there was no comercials but everything was cheap. So we wrote a few songs.. 30 000 for the album and 30 000 for the first video And for 60 000 the project started... it had not payed off by then but it started as a project....
Julia: You see, when the project started... yes?... from one point of view, an image ...of two girls madly in love with each other...yes... Maybe from this point of view... this for me was very unusual/weird... because i had never thought of girls in that way... yes... Although it did not come as a shock and I was ok about it, I just couldn’t percieve it. However, at one point, I did percieve/understand it... I really liked a girl! At one point I realized that I had [love] feelings for a girl.. yes?... And I thought: "Damn, In project t.A.T.u. ... whereas I had never thought of [loving a girl] before, I realized that it is possible for me to love a girl"... We didn't have any sex but there have been feelings, as when we kissed we had [love] feelings.
Ivan: I told the composer that they are crazy... crazy... and they gave me about five versions of the song... and Lena.. a girl which… which I was involved with at that moment in time...she... wrote: "Ya soshla s uma= I've lost my mind'' ..what else... 'Ya soshla s uma' .. um.. that lyric was kept...and I added: 'mne nuzhna ona = I need her'.. and from there .. that's how the song became alive...
Lena: I still don’t understand how she fought it... it took a long time. How to kiss… mom was running like crazy… but I understood to myself that it was a commercial moment… that it was… However, if we are to be serious about this… that at this age of 14, 15… we talked with my mom about this… this friendship between two girls… It's about everyone!.. everyone who has a friend, best friend… you don’t understand what you feel - whether it is friendship or love. It's a very "inbetween" kind of feeling, There is a thin line between these two feelings, and on this line… [cut]
Yulia: Well today I was going to Taradino (no summing up - elf), and I have this dream: we just arrived at the airport in Moscow with Katina, yes? And Katina… I am driving home, everything is fine… it’s summer, it’s warm… then I see Katina behind the wheel of a limo, the ones that they drive in America, and she says: “You know, there is something urgent, I have to tell you something, I forgot to tell you that...It's really important.. let’s drive to the park.” We drive to the park. And she says: ‘I dunno, maybe I am a fool, maybe I’m not, but the thing is, my image grew into love. I really love you!” I look at her and say: “Lena, what are you on about?” and she says: “Yes, I'm seriously in love with you.” She drives me to my apartment; I come out of the car in tears. I didn’t expect this from Lena.
Lena: to sleep with someone in front of the camera is impossible for me… I couldn’t… I think that a kiss is ok… but sleeping together is only two people’s business.
Julia: I think that I can do anything… absolutely… there is no idea with which I wouldn't agree to
Lena: My mom still doesn’t understand me, how I do it. Because in reality I am not a person for show-business. I can’t do what they do. I can’t step on other people’s heads. That’s why Julia and I are together. She can, I can’t.
Shapovalov: (here is what he actually said - elf) The first time I was in critical situation... I didn't have enough money to make the video. At the same time the project was "eating up" money: it ate 30,000 for the album, 30,000 for the video... I mean 25,000. At that time we had nothing, we had absolutely nothing! *Yulia and Ivan laughing* ... and Boris tells me "Here is the last grand, I don't need this money. So you can keep it for when you need it most" - at that time I needed about 30,000 - ".. maybe give the assistant a $100 tip so that they let you in and so that you can perform..". But two days later they show the video and two day later, madness ensues!
Julia: Vanya is really a genius! He is not like everyone else, his project is not like others. He has ideas that other people could never think of. (Lena noding agreeably) But these ideas are simple. For example, T-shirts with “Fuck War”, it’s so easy every fool in Russia could have done it, take a T-shirt and write “Fuck War” on it and wear it around, still nobody did it… but Vanya did it.
Lena: Whoever he is, he is the person who found us… a person who gave us a chance, and on top of that he is a mind-blowingly talented person despite his flaws.
Julia: I think that Tatu is my life. I think that I couldn’t have been without it, I dreamt about it, and I wouldn’t survive without this project now.
Shapovalov: The success of Tatu is the brightest… I think, the brightest point in the girls’ lives.
Lena: I always think about what’s going to happen next.
Julia: I never think about what’ll happen tomorrow… I live in "today"
Lena: …because singing is the only thing I can do… and even in that, I don’t think I am a professional… in any case, of course I want to sing…
Julia: This year my father and I are going to start building our house… so we can move and live in it… this summer we put down the foundation, it’ll wait through this winter and next year we are going to start building the house… aaahhh… the second thing I want is an apartment in the city centre… it’s costs how much in the city centre? 450 thousand? …
Shapovalov: aahh… as soon as I had an apartment and a car, and had enough money to live, I forgot about money (no ambiguity - elf) I liked it myself… so, there is an end… there is an end… in the journey for money… ha ha ha… this is fantastic, it’s fantastic… everyone has a different path… some have a short path, some have a long path, that even their life is not enough to travel through this path for money… and some people die without realizing their dream for money… some people don’t take that long to finish the journey… I am glad that for me this path was short I am not afraid to earn again as a Taxi driver!!.
Lena: I always think about wanting to be a billionair… then I can build an orphanage… I’ll hire the very, very best teachers there… Pay them very well, so they’ll come to me, so they have enough money. (It is a known fact that teachers are underpayed in Russia - elf)
Julia: I want to open an office where I’ll be a producer… but only so it’ll be a big office… a firm… (she names a few examples here, I don’t know them, so I can’t write them down – Kate.) … not a small room, but an office with my name on it… so that you’ll go and you’ll see, like “Interscope” or “Universal”, but mine will say “Yulia Volkova” in large letters… a huge building that will be mine…
Shapovalov: I never expected so much money… I’ll tell you that much… I expected the current attitude towards the group, yes… but that this attitude will bring all this money, I didn’t think about that…
Lena: I know that a moment will come when you’ll have to pay for everything you’ve done in this life time… I want to, kind of, you know, pay off my sins… what I do now is really a huge sin…
Julia: … sometimes it gets so hard that I don’t want to live any more… sometimes I want to get behind the wheel and drive at 200 km/h into a poll, That what I think sometimes and sometimes I want to die… I just come up to my mother and tell her that I don’t want to live any more… it’s hard… maybe it’s some kind of psychological illness… when you are doing something not right, and you don’t realize that at the beginning… you do it, and then realize how stupid you were to do it… I don’t want to go to church, I am saying something bad, I know, I don’t want to pray, although I have a little cross on my neck… just want to throw it out of my head, forget it… as though it never happened… yet sometimes, it’s very tough… There is a notable moment… I was hanging out with a group of people who were drug addicts. Some injected it and some sniffed.. and we had a bet… that if I have one injection that I won’t need it again… and I succeeded… I tried it, but I am not using it, right?... *raising voice* because I realized that I absolutely don’t need it in life…
Lena: I go to church constantly… I have a pope there, and I tell him everything… about the project… he tries to help me, blesses me… he is a very good person, he understands… [clears throat] I started to tell him about what the project is built on… and so on… and he said that you are sailing on scandals... I said: "Well, if we look at the overall picture, then yes!".
Shapovalov: In reality ... I dealt with two girls closely for the first time ... in a kind of gay-relationship ... and of course, it was in their relationship. In my oppinion, there's enough money ... for the girls ... the money that is falling down on them for their hard work, I think, will be enough for the rest of their lives.
[t.A.T.u.'s office]
Lena's mother: Excuse me please...
Manager: The agenda of the meeting is Yulia's health ... how we are going to handle this, in accordance with it is the schedule of further activities - promo, concerts, recordings and video. Now, as for the concerts - we are able to give as many concerts, and to make as much money as we want to. But we have to understand how to act so that we reach some kind of agreement: we should base our actions on health issues, take it out of the way first, and then we'll make a schedule of the other activities.
Julia: My vocal cords are still inflammated and the cyst is still there ... she [the doctor] said "Plan it yourself now". She said "If you don't want to remove the cyst, you'll need to go through a therapy. If you begin to give live concerts and record the albums, your condition will get worse".
Manager: How much time is it needed for the therapy?
Lena: And everything leads to a surgery...
Julia: ... and everything leads to a surgery anyway, [though] everything is okay now... She said "Make your own decision - sing if you want, scream if you want, take the surgery after if you want. It's your own business".
Concert manager: Absolutely ... absolutely .. I say it in the presence of everyone so all hear this - it's abslolutely not allowed for Yulia to smoke.
Ivan: They are grown up 18-year old girls and let's all share this responsibility .. it's another thing when they were 14-years old.
Julia's mother: If we forget about it and she'll start singing, do what you need - you start recording a song, a video, an album... A possibility exists that, as the doctors said, ... her cyst fails, a surgery follows, and that's it... the project will be suspended for some time - we don't know how long so what's next... When it happens to her .. who is going to carry the responsibility? ... If she's "out of order" for some time, who is going to be responsible for her, I wonder?
Ivan: Ahhh.. responsible to who?
Julia's mother: If we get "out of order" and let you down.. All of a sudden we can't sing here *Pointing to some papers*. What will we owe you? What will Yulia owe to the project, what if she can't really...? *everybody laughing quietly and mumbling something* ... Yes, but what about us, will we owe you any money? What will be the punishment? If she gets sick and can't sing, what will be the punishment for her, I wonder? ... and we approved all this. [cut]
Somebody: Will they penalize us afterwards if we refuse?
Julia's mother: I wanted to know this... Why are you laughing? I don't understand.
Lena's father: We are talking... Tell me, will you or will you not sing?
Julia's mother: I don't want to say. Until they tell me how much we will have to pay in case she doesn't sing...
Lena's father: (as she speaks) No, I'm not about that... Hypothetically.. hypothetically, are you going to sing in the future or not?
Julia's mother: ... and I will be left with nothing and so will she.
Lena's mother: No, but it seems logical...
Julia's mother: I want to know what we are losing.
[Prostye dvizheniya starts in the background]
Lena's father: What about Lena?
Julia's mother: Hold that thought about Lena... What will I lose? What will I lose and what will she? She loses both her voice and money and gets left with zero.
Lena's father: What about Lenka? *pointing to her*
Julia's mother: Look, Ivan, look what I figured out. If we... she gets sick, all of a sudden her (didn't get it - elf) fails.
*Somebody laughing*
Julia's mother: Well, hypothetically... then this also fails *pointing at a piece of paper in her hand*.. Listen closely... and she will have to pay a fine according to the contract. *girls lauging* And she will pay it with what? ... With the money that she will possibly have on her account by that time... possibly... I really hope she will... And she will pay it off to the last cent. She will pay as a fine everything she made during these two years in the project, being sick... and will lose everything she had earned.
[Prostye Dvizheniya]
Lena's father: No, suppose nobody signs this, nobody goes anywhere... ok everything fails. Two month later the situation doesn't change; they bring the same document, which also gets left unsigned and they don't go anywhere. Four month later, one more document of the same sort...
Somebody: So the time works against us...
Julia's mother: No, in the present situation time is on her side.
Lena's father: You see we should do it all in paralell...
Ivan: In the present situation...
Lena's father: Wait ...because, when the time works for you, t.A.T.u. won't be needed anymore.
Ivan: An artist cannot be on the top - ON THE VERY TOP, where the whole world is behind [the artist] - for too long. If we don't give ourselfs to the world now, tommorow the world will not take us, it will not need us.
Julia's mother: And the doctors have a different oppinion... Suppose you release the album, what's next?
Ivan: If we don't release the album, nothing comes next. You think that it is going to be better then?
Lena's mother: So nothing comes next... yea I see.
Ivan: "An artist dies on stage". It's not my quote. Why does an artist get a lot of good stuff and a lot of money, while we sit watching him and pay him? Because [the artist] gives himself [to the audience]. It happens so, that Yulia, being eighteen years old, needs to give up a lot. She practically commits an act of heroism. We do not have a right to demand that from her. It's her own choice. I would agree to any of her decisions. If she says that she won't sing at all... ok. If she says that she will sing... it's her [decision]. But the world ... the world will pay her.
[Prostye Dvizheniya]
Concert manager: ... For every one of these concerts I roughly estimated... during these two month ... I roughly estimated... your profit, the money each of you gets is 200 - 300 Euro.
Lena's father (prob.): Don't count the money of other people.
[camera is on Ivan who stands silent]
Somebody: Well, sign it then we will get it out...
Lena's mother (prob.): No. Don't sign anything... No Sergey.. It's so little...
Julia's mother: No, but how... how is this... ?
Somebody: I don't know... what, not to sign it.. ?
Yulia's mother (prob.): Why don't you know... I don't want this.. Are you saying she should lose her voice in two month?
Lena's father (prob.): Well, not in two months, but in a year she will.
Julia's mother (prob.): Why are you talking of such short terms?
Lena's father: Because practice shows that t.A.T.u. will not exist for 10 years. They are growing up...
Julia's mother: Wait, what are we talking about? We are saying that she needs two months of time...
Lena's father: Let's do it the smart way... the smart way...
Julia's mother: Ok.
Lena's father: The smart way is the following: Either we postpone all the work now and wait for two months; two months later he'll give her all the work she can handle and she does it to the max. I don't think it will work out in two month... OR we take - not two month - but half a year and gradually, in parallel, hiring a tutor, who would supervise the process... continue with the normal work.
Ivan: If we agree to [take part in] Eurovision and we... When a country, my dear country, asks us to win, I cannot refuse and I don't think the girls can.
Julia: There is only one song on this Eurovision. It's not a 90 minute concert.
Ivan: One song, yes...
Julia: It's nothing to worry about - one song is not 90 minutes.
Julia's mother: Well we have discussed one issue, and on this matter me and Yulia... we cannot say "yes" yet.
Julia: I'm tired of this... I can't take it any longer.
[Concert]
Leonid [to Julia]: Thank you in German is "Danke shon (sp?)" *repeating many times*
Julia: Danke shon!
[Moscow Police Department]
Dasha: Despite t.A.T.u. ... Despite t.A.T.u. being at home there seems to be even less cooperation from Russian authorities then there was in London a week ago...
Leonid: *laughing* Colonel, we are living in a desent country and we are not insane people. I'm not going to organize anything unnatural - it's just filming for Eurovision... so that the group wins...
Police officer: In London they forbade it. (mumbling)
Leonid: But London is *showing a gesture that usually mean "crazy"*
Police officer: What about us?
Leonid: We are normal people. We are free people!... normal!
Police officer: (din't get that - elf) ... You need documents that let you do it. You don't have them? That's it. How would I know?.. There is a law. Nobody changed it, right?
Leonid: I see.
[Red Square]
Dasha: Scandalous t.A.T.u. duo is back on the news. In London they were not allowed to film their video and the concerts at Wembley were canceled. But they had hoped that in Moscow everything would be much easier. One of the Russian newspapers claimed: "Red Square would be entirely given over to t.A.T.u. for the most massive demonstration of lesbian love in the whole history of humankind". 700 girls in shool uniforms are expected.
Dasha: Despite t.A.T.u. being at home there seems to be even less cooperation from Russian authorities then there was in London a week ago... The band's producer Ivan Shapovalov was taken inside this police station for trying to organize an unauthorized gathering in the Red Square. From the police station Ivan was taken straight to the court.
Ivan (in court): Well... I have only one question: "Does Russia need a victory in Eurovision?"
Dasha: Now the question is whether another scandal will help girls at the Eurovision. The song contest in Riga is just a week away and Russia has to wait and hope that t.A.T.u. will win. Dasha Pushkova. BBC News, Moscow.
[Julia rehearsing]
Julia: *singing* That's it... I have... That's it...
Ivan: I don't see any sence in bothering Yulia for the next rehearsal... Lena and Katya. Lena and Katya will sing. The organizers shouldn't freak out. It will be better... We need to make sure that they don't freak out. OK? Yulia is not feeling well...
Woman: She wont show up... ?
Ivan: Yes. If you want we can go to a doctor now and get a note... if it's needed. Do we need it?
Woman: Of course you need it!
Ivan: Ok, let's go then.
[At the hospital]
Leonid: You see our problem is... at three we have one rehearsal, at nine we have another rehearsal and tomorrow we have yet another rehearsal and only after that comes the concert. We would like to ask you if it's possible to excuse her from these rehearsals.
Julia: It's just that I'm afraid that I won't be able to sing well during the contest if I scream today.
Leonid: You see, today ... yes... than tomorrow she may not be able to sing.
[Cafe - 28 hours left]
Woman: It's impossible to properly adjust 16 cameras within one rehearsal, not to mention they do it differently every time.
[cut]
Leonid: Ivan... There is always a contradiction in him. I have understood it already and it doesn't suprise me anymore...
[Interview - 24 hours left]
Interviewer: Are there going to be any problems from the organizers?
Ivan: No, we gave them a note [from a doctor]. The organizers said they were satisfied with the note. Everything... There are no problems from their side.
[Hospital]
Doctor: That's it.
[Cafe]
Leonid: Irochka, could you please tell me... Can we send a Mercedes to our dear doctor to bring her here, in Sconto? Yes... [cut to Yulia] ... to call them right now? Yes.
[Hospital - 22 hours left]
Julia: Haha, it's so cool.
[21.5 hours left]
Leonid: ... but there will be no rehearsal during the day.
Doctor: No rehearsal...?
Leonid: ... Well there will be one but Yulia is not going to take part in it.
Doctor: Oh... and Lena?
Leonid: But Lena will be there, yes.
Doctor: What time is it going to take place?
Leonid: It's at... What time is the rehearsal... ?
Ira: At 3, I think.
Leonid: At 3'o clock.
Doctor: Then [be here] by 1 pm... by 1 pm..
Leonid: We will bring Lenochka at 1 pm to you, right?
Doctor: Yes, yes...
Leonid: Should we bring Yulia also for these procedures? *showing on his neck* Or maybe not...
Doctor: Yes, ...
Leonid: OK, I will bring her... and then before the conert... We will be here about 1 - 1.5 hours in advance for sure... About an hour before the concert, Irochka will bring you here so that you do all the necessary procedures, and then they go right to the concert.
Doctor: Yes, ok, ok..
Leonid: OK? Thank you very much : )
[Hospital - 19 hours left]
Beata (on cellphone): Vanya, look, we are in the hospital now... The doctors asked if it's ok to use laryngate (probably a drug to treat laryngitis - elf) or will it cause something... No, well you were saying that laryngate, yes?... a period of scilence is recommended... and for inflamated vocal cords...
[In the car - 8 hours left]
Lena: God, I can't believe it's today... I'm starting to feel shaky.

Beata: I don't remember.
[Cafe - 5 hours left]
Ivan: No, I don't think Eurovision makes any sales. It's a contest with its own set of criteria, which are most probably political rather then musical, as I understand it...
Somebody: Absolutely...
Ivan: ...The question of whether t.A.T.u. wins is purely political.
[Hotel]
Julia: 1.5 hours left till Eurovision.

Leonid (to the woman): That's it Lerochka, we are going now.
[Cafe]
Guy: Does Russia even need this contest? It's not the most popular...
Ivan: I think, yes, of course. The vector from Russia to Europe is obvious as it is obvious towards Asia. And for t.A.T.u... It's is easy to verify with t.A.T.u.
[Eurovision room - 1 hour left]
Leonid (to Lena): All countries have a vote and then every participating country calls out numbers and says something like: "Austria - 1, Germany - 2, Bulgaria - 3 ... "
The guy behind him: ..Up to 12 points.
Leonid: Yes, "... Russia - 12", Then Bulgaria [does the same]... yes.. and all these numbers are summed up. *drinking* Meanwhile we will be sitting up there waiting for the votes.

Leonid: Where are the guys? Damn... Wait, wait... Yulia, Yulia, Yulia...
Julia: There they all are... Let's go, let's go...

Julia: "... and Lenka did a little" - (s)he said - "and you [missed] one note too, but in general evertything was very clean" *Leaning towards Lena* Then she screamed "It was f*cking great, super, all Ostankino (one of the biggest of Russian media stations) was simply like "You guys are f*cking awesome,"" so (s)he said "you didn't mess up and didn't embarrass yourselves - it was a very clean singing".
[Scores]
Hosts: Russia - 3 points.

Julia: Well f*cking give us high score at least twice and it will be f*cking cool...[cut]
Hosts: 12 points goes to Russia!

Julia: Is it really... Oh God, please!... *going through some notes*.. 21, 24... that's it. Low, very low... what is wrong?... very low scores...

Somebody: Third?
Julia: Yes.

Leonid: There was no song, f*ck, no show, and we told all the journalists to f*ck off - and that's what we get [cut] It's a pity. I'm sorry for the two of them. I'm sorry that today I *silenced* in Europe *silenced* 150,000. You know *silenced* let me ... F*ck you, my dear! Third place! 50 from 150 - 50!... It's emotions!
